Kolofon Bhutan lykke før økonomi Druk Yul betyder Tordendragens land og er bhutanesernes navn for Bhutan. Bhutan er et lille kongedømme beliggende i 5.000 7.000 meters højde i den østlige del af Himalaya-bjergene. Med sine 40.077 km² er Bhutan lidt mindre end Danmark. Befolkningsantallet skønnes at være 760.000. I Bhutan er kongen statsoverhoved. Befolkningen har ikke ret til at danne politiske partier. Der findes en nationalforsamling bestående af 150 medlemmer. 105 medlemmer vælges af befolkningen, 12 medlemmer udpeges af munkevæsenet og 33 medlemmer udpeges af kongen. Regeringen nomineres af kongen, men efterfølgende skal ministrene så godkendes af Nationalforsamlingen. Nationalforsamlingen mødes i princippet to gange om året men kan ekstraordinært indkaldes af kongen. Nationalforsamlingen fungerer som et rådgivende organ for regeringen. Langt hovedparten af befolkningen bor på landet. Omkring 100.000 er bosiddende i byområder. Heraf skønnes de 35.000 at bo i hovedstaden Thimphu og de 24.000 i den næststørste by Phuentsholing. Herudover er der mindre byer på 5.000 - 10.000 indbyggere.
